Creation Year: 2019
Read This if You Are Into: Sculptural art, retro-futuristic design, pop culture icons, or explorations of time and decay.
Design Significance: Daniel Arsham’s DeLorean sculpture reimagines the iconic car from Back to the Future as a relic of the past. Crafted in Arsham’s signature eroded aesthetic, the piece appears as though it has been unearthed after centuries, its surface corroded with quartz crystal-like formations. This artwork explores themes of time, permanence, and cultural memory, transforming the DeLorean from a symbol of futuristic ambition into a fossilized artifact. Arsham’s work bridges pop culture and fine art, inviting viewers to consider the passage of time through a nostalgic yet decayed lens.
